GREETINGS FROM THE
ASSOCIATE DEAN
Welcome to the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering! You are starting this journey at a time
in which the world needs you—and the engineer you will become—more than ever. We are faced with
challenging problems that are global in scope, including the environment, energy, transportation, and
health care. Solving problems in these areas requires the exceptional technical knowledge and skill that
Michigan engineers bring. However, to fulfill the promise of leadership, you must go well beyond the
technical. You will need to develop an innovative and creative spirit and an entrepreneurial mindset,
designing solutions that exhibit environmental and social responsibility. You will need to collaborate
and communicate across many disciplines, working with people from diverse cultures across the globe.
To prepare for this, you must take advantage of the resources of the whole University of Michigan. Move beyond engineering: learn a
language; discover through psychology how humans think, react to their environment, and are motivated; explore creativity through the
arts; dive into the history and culture of another region of the globe; discover how public policy impacts us all; study abroad to challenge
your conceptions of the world.
Over 1,400 other engineering students, each unique and in some way exceptional, are starting their educational careers with you. They are
a great resource, as are the other students, faculty, and staff already here. Your success in engineering will be enhanced by your interactions
with those around you. Our engineering faculty are here at Michigan because they love what they do. Be sure to take full advantage of
these amazing people!
Remember also that while your engineering education will begin in classrooms, you must engage with the broader Michigan community
to truly develop your creative potential. You must awaken your passions not only through your studies, but also through the many
co-curricular activities that enrich our community: take on an internship, pursue your entrepreneurial aspiration, engage in our
multidisciplinary design program, or travel abroad.
While here at Michigan you will be challenged, you will experience emotional highs and lows, and you will be asked to do things that at
first blush appear to be impossible. Much to your surprise—but not to ours—you will discover that they are not only possible, but a ton
of fun as well! Welcome to Michigan, and Go Blue!

• Visit the Engineering Career Resource Center (ECRC) in 230 Chrysler Center for help researching engineering career opportunities and
developing your resume. career.engin.umich.edu
• If you’re not sure whether engineering is right for you, meet with your EAC advisor, and a career counselor
at the U-M Career Center in 3200 Student Activities Building. careercenter.umich.edu
• Develop short-term and long-term goals.
Where do you want to be one year from now?
What about five years from now?
What are some barriers to meeting your goals, and how can you
overcome them?
• Research engineering majors and careers online. Visit the Major Exploration tab on the EAC website:

• Take Engineering 110: The Engineering Profession (only offered in the Fall Term).
• Talk to peer advisors and upperclass friends about their majors. Ask about the skills required to be successful, projects they complete in advanced
courses, and internships and jobs in their field.
Choose an activity that sounds interesting to you, and start slowly (we recommend you join no more than 1-2 groups in your first term; you will need
time to adjust to campus). Here are some resources for finding student organizations:
